The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2167

“J-just ask me anything you wish to know! I’ll share anything that I can answer…!” said Amare as he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gerald’s hand retracting.

Sitting right in front of him, Gerald simply replied in a hushed tone, “First off, was it Will who told you to assassinate me?”

“I-it was… You see, the patriarch sent me off to do some errands for him, but just before I left, Will called me over to his room to give me the assassination order… Since he’s the patriarch’s successor, I couldn’t just refuse…”

Smiling subtly in response, Gerald then said, “I see. Come to think of it, aren’t you worried that Daryl will find out about this?”

Gerald, for one, had figured that only Will wanted him dead. As far as he knew, Daryl was only interested in testing his abilities.

“W-well… as long as I return in time, the patriarch shouldn’t find out… I was already planning to leave this afternoon, you know? But then you suddenly showed up…! What more, just as I was wondering how to make a move on you earlier, you took the initiative to bait me out here with your essential qi! I couldn’t say no to that!” replied Amare with a sigh.

Had he known that things would end this way, he would’ve never agreed to Will’s request…

Nodding in response, Gerald thought for a bit before asking, “…And are you the one who killed that special forces agent from Yanam?”

“…That… was me, yes…” replied Amare as he reluctantly nodded.

“I see… Putting that aside, I have one final question. As long as you give me an honest answer, I’ll spare your life and let you leave unharmed. How do I get to Yearning Island?” asked Gerald as he narrowed his eyes at Amare.

Now that all his other questions had been answered, Gerald made sure to save the best for last. While it was true that he had managed to find Fujiko—thus potentially allowing him to contact the Seadom tribe—, if he managed to get the information straight from Amare, then he’d be able to start making plans much earlier.
